Edible Holdings

What Edible Holdings does

Edible Holdings is a private holding company headquartered in Sag Harbor, New York, that operates a portfolio of regional food and dining publications under the Edible Communities brand umbrella. Founded in 2005 and operating with 1-10 employees, the company publishes Edible Manhattan as its flagship title alongside sister publications including Edible Brooklyn, Edible Hudson Valley, Edible Westchester, Edible East End, and Edible Long Island, collectively serving consumers in the New York metropolitan area.

The company's core products are quarterly print magazine subscriptions and a weekly email newsletter covering restaurants, bars, recipes, chef profiles, food events, and craft beverage content for hyper-local markets. The technology stack is intentionally lean: a WordPress CMS for content publishing, Stripe for recurring subscription billing and payment processing, Cloudflare for CDN delivery, and standard cookie-based web tracking. There is no proprietary platform, no mobile application, and no public API, indicating a traditional editorial publishing operation rather than a technology-led media business.

Commercially, Edible Holdings operates a direct-to-consumer model with two pricing tiers — $12 for a three-month quarterly subscription and $32 for a one-year subscription, both auto-renewing. The primary customer segment is food enthusiasts and local diners seeking curated dining recommendations and food culture content for specific New York-region geographies. Distribution is primarily digital (subscription website, email newsletter, TikTok social presence) supplemented by physical print issues shipped quarterly to subscribers. The organization is small, operates without disclosed outside funding, and functions as an affiliate member of the broader Edible Communities network for brand identity and cross-promotional reach.
